Who has to have one
Anyone beginning paid work, registering as an autónomo, or needing to contribute to public healthcare in Mallorca must hold a NUSS. More often than not, a new employer will request the number before you set foot in the office.
How we obtain it
We complete the TA.1 form, reserve the appointment with the Tesorería General de la Seguridad Social and secure your NUSS — usually within a matter of days, so an imminent job offer is never held up.
In Mallorca
Sorting the social security number in Mallorca means dealing with Oficina de Extranjería de Illes Balears (Palma) and its limited appointments. We monitor the system daily and handle the paperwork for residents from Pollença and Manacor.
Frequently asked questions
No. The NIE is your identity number for the immigration and tax systems; the NUSS is a separate number that links you specifically to social security.
In many cases yes, depending on your circumstances. We will confirm the route that applies to you.
